Should you decide to throw caution to the wind and go Lindt crazy, with the spread and the truffles, you can buy a box to enjoy of what Lindt describe as a ‘delicate chocolate shell and peppermint-infused truffle’ for around a fiver. While the spread will set you back £5.99.

If you enjoy the taste of limited edition chocolate and miss out on these delicious cocoa spheres then don’t worry, there’s plenty of ‘rare’ choc about these days.

Just a few months ago, Nestle released a Ruby chocolate KitKat, again exclusively at Tesco – why do they get all the best choccies?

The new chocolate has a strong natural berry flavour, which doesn’t come from any added ingredients, just the Ruby beans which are used to make it.

Alex Gonnella, marketing director for Nestlé UK, said:

We know that a new type of KitKat is a really big deal and we are very excited to be able to offer a different type of chocolate for KitKat fans to try.

Ruby chocolate is a big innovation in confectionery and we are very proud that KitKat is the first major brand in the UK to feature this exciting new chocolate.

It’s a great time to love chocolate, what with all these new sweets for us to enjoy, especially as a recent scientific study seemingly found a link between being smart and liking a milky treat.

The study, which was published in the journal Appetite, revealed a positive link between frequent chocolate intake and cognitive performance.

The study also suggested scoffing chocolatey treats can ‘protect against normal age-related cognitive decline’ meaning it’s totally acceptable to eat them when you’re a bit older and your metabolism isn’t what it was.
